Update at 6 a.m. Tuesday: The FBI has joined the investigation into the death of a 4- to 5-year-old girl found in the Saginaw intersection Monday evening. Officials released little information overnight, but according to reports, she was wearing nothing but a pair of underwear, and had a grocery bag over her head. Her wrists and legs were also bound.

Original item posted at 10:50 p.m. Monday: A dead body was found wrapped in tarp Monday evening in the middle of a neighborhood intersection, police said.

Several people saw the tarp-draped body shortly after 7:30 p.m. on the pavement at Roundrock Drive and Cindy Lane, said Damon Ing, a Saginaw police spokesman.

Ing said the investigation is underway, and he couldn’t confirm any details about the body such as age or gender. FBI officials and Texas Rangers are on the scene as well.

But Ing said police are looking for a “vehicle of interest,” which was described as a red pickup with a softball-sized green paint splatter on the rear passenger side.
